You've got to check the age of the tires on the Kat and Honda or you'll be looking at another few hundred dollars to replace them.
IMHO there is no such thing as a "mint condition" 20 year old bike or anything else, unless it has a new engine, tires, brakes, clutch, battery, sprockets, chain, bulbs, and a paint job.And the older the bike gets, sometimes replacement parts get harder to find and more expensive. In any event, a knowledgeable mechanic has to check it out first.
